Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth. Those were the golden words of Mahatma Gandhi! TRUTH is what this blog is about... truth about Nithyananda and his cult. Don't fall prey to his charming lies... before you learn more about his real intent from the ex-members of his cult.

The case against the controversial godman Swami Nithyananda still waits to be committed to trial after the CID filed the chargesheet in November 2010.

The delay is due to case files being shuffled between the Ramanagaram court and the High Court.

A recent application by the special public prosecutor seeking a direction for the medical examination of Nithyananda under section 53 (A) of the CrPC, has been challenged by Nithyananda. The Ramanagaram court is unable to dispose of the application as the case files are in the High Court.

The prosecutor said that the report received from the forensic expert on the video-recording was positive and that the image found in the video was conclusive of the presence of Nithyananda.

“Medical examination of the accused in a case of rape is mandatory. When he was arrested, this examination could not be conducted as there was no victim then. Subsequently, a victim from the US approached the CID and gave a statement. Now, the accused has to go through the medical examination,’’ special public prosecutor K. Janardhan said.

Nithyananda challenged the application for his medical examination and moved another application stating it would be breach of privacy. The Ramanagaram court could not dispose of this application as the files relating to the case are in the High Court.

Moreover, the prosecutor said that the case was yet to be committed to trial as there have been several applications filed before the Ramanagaram CJM court on the chargesheet filed by the CID.

“Accused number 5 in the case (Maa Sachidananda alias Ragini) was denied court permission to travel to the US. But, accused number 2 (Nithya Bhaktananda alias Gopala Seelam Reddy) went to the US and had to return on May 12. He did not return and, through his advocates, moved another application seeking extension. The CID submitted an objection to this in a sealed envelop and stated that the accused were travelling to the US to tamper with the evidence and the only victim who lives there" Mr Janardhan said.

The Ramanagaram court refused to grant the extension sought. The CID stated that the accused who went to the US have lodged several complaints against the victim in an attempt to threaten her.

The CID has examined 101 witnesses spread across the country and even abroad and submitted a 430-page chargesheet against Nithyananda and others.

The CID stated in the chargesheet that during the investigation a woman from the US appeared before the CID and deposed that she was repeatedly raped by Swami Nithyananda not only at his ashram in Bidadi, but in other parts of the country.

The swami allegedly told the victim that if she subjected herself to his sexual demands she would achieve enlightenment and that sex with Swamiji was the path to moksha.

The CID also placed before the court agreements signed between the devotees and ashram authorities taking the consent of the devotees for partaking in tantrik sex.

Those who are truly capable of independent thinking, watch the following video, read the information available and decide for yourself whether somebody is an Avatar or just a Cult Leader

Cult denotes a group that forms around a person who claims he or she has a special mission or knowledge, which will be shared with those who turn over most of their decision making to that self-appointed leader.

The term cult tends to imply something weird, something other than normal, something that is not us. But cults are far from marginal, and those who join them are no different from you or me. The issues they represent are basic to our society, to our understanding of each other, and to our accepting our vulnerabilities and the potential for abuse within our world.

Cults come in all sizes, form around any theme, and recruit persons of all ages and backgrounds. Not all cults are religious, as some people think. Their reasons for existing may concern religion, life-style, politics, or assorted philosophies. Not everyone who is approached by a cult recruiter joins, and of those who join, not all stay forever. Cults vary in how much financial and political power they wield. Some are local phenomena with only a dozen members. Others have thousands of members, operate multinational businesses, and control complex multimillion- if not multibillion-dollar organizations.

Modern-day cults and thought-reform groups tend to offer apparent utopias, places where all humankind's ills will be cured. The cults' lure is, if you just come along, all will be fine, and everyone will live happily ever after.

Since the 1960s, there has been a burgeoning of independent entrepreneurial groups that go into the mind-manipulation and personality-change business. Myriads of false messiahs, quacks, and leaders of cults and thought-reform groups have emerged who use Orwellian* mind-manipulation techniques. They recruit the curious, the unaffiliated, the trusting, and the altruistic. They promise intellectual, spiritual, political, social, and self-actualization utopias. These modern-day pied pipers offer, among other things, pathways to God, salvation, revolution, personal development, enlightenment, perfect health, psychological growth, egalitarianism, channels to speak with 35,000-year- old "entities," life in ecospheres, and contact with extraterrestrial beings.

There is truly a smorgasbord of spiritual, psychological, political, and other types of cults and cultic groups seeking adherents and devotees. Contrary to the myth that those who join cults are seekers, it is the cults that go out and actively and aggressively find followers. Eventually, those groups subject their followers to mind-numbing treatments that block critical and evaluative thinking and subjugate independent choice in a context of a strictly enforced hierarchy

The wisdom of the ages is that most manipulation is subtle and covert. When Orwell* drew on this wisdom, he envisioned the evolution of an insidious but successful mind and opinion manipulator. He would appear as a smiling, seemingly beneficent Big Brother. But instead of one Big Brother, we see hordes of Big Brothers in the world today. Many of them are cult leaders."

* In 1949, George Orwell wrote about the negative utopia he feared would evolve, perhaps by 1984.

Orwell's genius was in sensing that combinations of social and psychological techniques are easier, more effective, and cheaper than the gun-to-the-head methods of coercion. Social and psychological persuasion is also less likely to attract attention and thus is less apt to mobilize opposition early and easily from those being manipulated. Orwell reasoned that if a government could control all media and interpersonal communication while simultaneously forcing citizens to speak in a politically controlled jargon, it could blunt independent thinking. If thought could be controlled, then rebellious actions against a regime could be prevented. Not only in his book Nineteen Eighty-Four but also in his essays on politics and the English language, Orwell emphasized the power of words. Words represent thoughts, and without the capability to express thoughts, people lose access to their own thinking.

Margaret Thaler Singer, Ph.D., is one of the leading experts in the field of coercive persuasion, a clinical psychologist and emeritus adjunct professor at the University of California, Berkeley. In her career, she has counseled and interviewed more than 3,000 current and former cult members and their relatives and friends.
